I’ve just come across a website that will notify you when a website you’re interested in goes down and comes back up. You can even select whether to be notified via e-mail, SMS (not sure about country restrictions), or even Twitter.

A year of blogging

Happy 1st Birthda Blog!

Happy 1st Birthday Blog!

A year ago today, my website as it is now, went live. People always say this, but it is hard to believe that a year has gone by – that I’ve actually been writing for that long. Ah, you got me, I have had a couple of breaks. Although, in that time I’ve managed to clock up over 190 posts, and with around 460 comments there’s been a lot of chat (mostly thanks to Spotify!).

Still though, this has been a fantastic experience. It is helping me to stay active and hone my writing skills. It has also helped me rediscover how much I actually enjoy writing.

There’s a few people I should thank. Nate Lanxon for suggesting that I switch to using WordPress, Ryan Hitch for hosting this site, and my mother Carol for listening to me go on about my ideas. I’d also like to thank everyone who regularly reads me (you’re an exclusive group!) and who has linked to me over the past year.

What’s for the next 12 months? I am going to continue to cover the same general topics as I do already. I’m planning that Tip of the week will close at the end of the 2009, but I’m hoping to write more hardware and software reviews. Tips may come back in a less frequent but more in-depth form. I am hoping that I can develop writing relationships with other sites too, so you may find that I have less actual posts on here, but instead posting links to what I’ve written elsewhere. All this is subject to change ;)

Once again, thanks for reading and supporting me.

Welcome readers,

This blog is no longer under development, we are finally here at www.davidgilson.co.uk. If you have arrived here from using the digitalranger.org.uk domain name, please update your links.

Hopefully from now on, there’ll be less posts in website updates, and more articles about tech, science and anything else that I can go on about!
